Stable is always tagged RELENG=4, but it's name changes as it goes through release cycles. At the moment it's 4.5-STABLE, but, in a few months, when the 4.6 release cycle starts it will change to 4.6-PRERELEASE and 4.6-RC before changing to 4.6-STABLE when the release (RELENG_4_6) has been tagged. But, whatever the name, it's still tagged RELENG_4 and is referred to as "STABLE". See the handbook for a discussion of this cycle. R.
